CHAPTER 10
I put the last cloth into my box and sigh, today I was officially moving to a house near the school, according to them tomorrow would be the first day of resumption, the only thing still pushing me to actually go on with this was the fact that I had to have that power that William sat on and that I got to see Aria everyday now.
I smiled as I thought of Aria, at first what I wanted from her was all knacks but getting to know her had been eye opening and like a breath of fresh air.
She loved to draw and she was actually going in for an art major, when she told me she had a whole dream of why she chose arts, so I felt really ashamed when she asked my major and I said business, but when she asked of the why, all that came to my mind was power.
But I recovered when she said one of her turn on was power, I felt like I had found my soul mate, she would just have to wait a while before we had our happily ever, a long time really becaus
CHAPTER 11“I’m not going for the orientation Aria, it’ll just be like the tour, where they pull down some and lift some and it would also be a forum for sorority houses to put in their nets”, I grumble as Aria ties to convince me to attend the orientation.Its been a week since we moved in, or rather I moved in and Aria has been here every other day, she insisted on getting her room in the hostel like a good kid, but she ended up here every day, it was a good thing for me since we had to share the bed whenever she came over.And yes, nothing ever happens, I respect her and I want whatever happening to be more than the shit with Emilia.Speaking of, Emilia had been one of the thorns in my flesh in this past week, when she was taken to the hospital and stitched, the management questioned her and she said I was responsible for the cut, which wasn’t a lie, but there was no way I would admit that ever.Any
CHAPTER 12“This place is super crowded”, Aria says pushing into me to avoid the guys hollering at the edges of the hall.At all corner there was a different group.“You think the orientation is over already”, she asks shouting right into my ear since the crowd was deafening, “Or maybe they haven’t even begun” she says.“I really doubt it, it looks like its sorority picking time”, I say with disgust and she glares at me.“Try saying it without disgust Luca, or _” she gets cut off by someone calling my name or maybe it’s just another person with the same name as mine that is been called.“Gaudion”, I hear and we both turn, that is definitely me, I scan the crowd behind us and don’t see anyone who might have called out my name.“Making friends already? You're smooth”, Aria says poking at my sides and I grin at her and w
CHAPTER 13“You’re behaving weird”, Aria says as she steps out of the kitchen with 2 cups of coffee and my t-shirt on.Get your minds out of the gutter, nothing had happened between us yet.She hadn’t gone home yesterday either and spent the night here and as usual she was in my shirt, since she slept in it.“How?” I ask as I take the coffee from her and smile in appreciation.“I don’t know, you have been walking around, looking all restless and stuff”, she mutters into her coffee shrugging.“I uhm, I am not acting weird”, I say taking a sip, “Or rather I don’t think I am”, I mutter too.“Is it because I practically asked you out yesterday?” she says and the coffee chose that time to follow the wrong path.I immediately start coughing, she moves from her chair and rubs my back looking at me guiltily.“I&
CHAPTER 14“That was stupid”, I hear after a while of sitting at the café, I had already texted him that I would be there, so I wasn’t surprised when he showed up.“If her dad was there, you’ll be out on your ass and there’s no certainty that the guards wont report back”, he says as I didn’t respond to his earlier comment.“Well you should have given me a heads up”, I say as I turn to him.He winces, “The acting wouldn’t have been superb if you knew”, he says calling for water.“Well I can’t argue with that but the princess pissed me off, I couldn’t hold it in, especially after that punch”, I touch my nose which still felt tender.“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to go that hard but I needed you to bleed, that would have been sure to move her”, he says.“Well I couldn’t tell if she
CHAPTER 15“Before we continue, we would like to call our valedictorian” pause “and for the first time it’s a scholarship student”, there was a murmur in the crowd and I smiled.My braces were off and I have been complimented to have the best set of teeth, I had paid it no mind, but I loved my teeth.“I know, I know, they didn’t just come to take our money this year”, I hear a few snickers and I remember the argument William had with the various heads at the school.I was the best and he had tried to see a way they could bypass all that and have one of the rich kids be valedictorian, but he couldn’t, apart from the clear gap in my result I had posted it online using an anonymous account, I let the public do the judging.And here I was today_“_Luca Gaudion”, I smile as I’m announced on stage.“WOW”I exclaim amidst the glares, “I
CHAPTER 16“Please put on your seat belt as we prepare to land in New York”, the hostess announces.I sit up and pull of the eye cover, I hadn’t really been sleeping, I just wanted a moment for myself.I was finally where I wanted to be, well not where exactly, I was moving to where I wanted to be at a great speed. I mean I was on first class sponsored by the great William Smith, drinking expensive champagne and moving to a house sponsored by the company, I even got a tailor who fitted me and promised that my suits will be at New York before my arrival.And I had started buying shares with the money I had from old man Joe, I hadn’t heard from him since his first email, I really hope he was alright.He was a father figure, I wouldn’t ever accept that to his face though.“Sir, if you don’t mind?”, I look up to see a hostess gesturing to my belt which I hadn’t fastened yet,
CHAPTER 17EMBERLYNN’S POV“There’s no way we are sitting that party out, A”, I say bouncing on the bed.“I already said I wasn’t going to go Emb, so drop it”, She says turning to her laptop.I met A on my first day at NYU, I still remember that day, clear as if it was yesterday.A lot of people thought being rich didn’t have its disadvantages but yeah it did, loneliness was one of them, before her I had no one, just dad who tried his best to make out time for me but as always, a business man was a business man, I wouldn’t ever say that to him though, he was the best dad and I wouldn’t have it any other way.But when I came in here I was really scared, I mean I didn’t want to have a lonely university experience, so when I spilled coffee all over A and she slapped me not caring about my status or nothing, I stuck to her like glue.Nope I don’t enjoy pain, but I admired the way she corrected me.That day I had just gotten the coffee when
CHAPTER 18LUCA’S POV“You put in so much effort this week, you should join them for the hangout at Stephens”, Williams says after the end of another long day.It has been 6 months and a few since I was brought to New York as the P.A. to the great Mr. Smith, as he predicted there were a lot of objections from people that wanted to have the position and even more from his Board, but of course it all went away after a month.I still didn’t know how he managed to get them to shut up but whatever he did worked. The only downside was that I had no friend here and after sometime I sent a mail to old man Jack, yes that was how lonely I was. He didn’t reply though, maybe he lost the account or something but it was nice having someone for that while.“Quit thinking so hard, you have to get with these people, because you might need them for a reason tomorrow, not financial reason of course but maybe a vote
